Chapter 80: Don't You Need Money?

  Yang Liu smiled coldly for the first time, agreeing with her words. "I've analyzed it over and over, and apart from her, I really can't think of anyone else! As long as you leave, she'll be the future star of the research department! Most importantly, on the day you lost your laptop at noon, we all came back together from the cafeteria! Only she, with my uncle, asked for leave first and left! Where did they go? Who knows!"

  Zhang Jiajia nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, right!"

  Lin Yue'er knew the inside story, but she didn't say anything. Since they had all decided to leave, why was it necessary to throw a bomb again? It's not just that Yan Xiaojuan is having a hard time, but so is she herself. Now, all she wants is a peaceful and quiet life.

  The three of them chatted for a while, when Director Yang rushed in excitedly, "Xiao Yue! Xiao Yue, quickly go to the 22nd floor! The general manager wants to see you!"

  Yang Liu and Zhang Jiajia hastily asked, "Has Young Master changed his mind?"

  Director Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I don't know either. The young general has read Xiaoyue's resignation letter and only said to let her come up, without saying anything else. However, I think it's probably true!" He said affirmatively, "Xiaoyue leaving is not just a loss for our research department, but also for the entire company!"

  The two of them got excited and urged, "Xiao Yue, hurry up! Pay attention to your attitude. If all else fails, use your charm on Xiao Zong!"

  Lin Yue'er was standing there, her eyebrows furrowed, with no intention of going up. In her opinion, things were going according to his plan, what else could he say? A thank you note? No, that wasn't his style.

  She didn't want to see him again, but Zhang Jiajia and Yang Liu wouldn't let her go, they dragged her up to the 22nd floor and pushed her in front of the general manager's office, "Xiao Yue, hurry up and go in!"

  Amy saw her and dialed the internal line, "General Manager, Lin Yueer has arrived."

  Put down the phone and smiled, "The general manager asked you to go in."

  Lin Yue'er furrowed her brow, even if she was unwilling, but she didn't want them to see anything. She gritted her teeth and pushed the door open with a stiff face.

  Gu Wangchuan stood with his back to her, standing in front of the window, his hands lazily inserted into his pockets, his figure tall and slender, perfectly proportioned.

  Lin Yue'er walked over, fortunately she didn't have to face him, which made her feel much more at ease.

  "General manager." She called out faintly.

  Gu Wangchuan didn't turn around, his voice cold and intimidating, "Your resignation letter, I've received it."

  Linyue'er's gaze fell on the table, her resignation letter had been torn open, the letter paper spread out on the desktop, emitting a faint fragrance. It was her favorite scent, she made it into a sachet and carried it with her, all her personal belongings would have a hint of it.

  She was somewhat surprised that he actually finished reading it, although it was just a letter of resignation full of nonsense.

  "He still said coldly, 'What requirements you have, you can put forward.'"

  Lin Yue'er smiled self-deprecatingly, this was probably the most humane thing Gu Wangchuan had ever said to her.

  "It's fine, consider the debt I owe to your family cleared. I should be grateful. However, the emotional debt I owe to Grandfather... I'm afraid it'll take some time to repay." Her attitude was calm and collected, without a hint of mockery, but to Gu Wangchuan's ears, it sounded extremely uncomfortable.

  On the bright mirror, his handsome face was reflected, and a strange anger was brewing.

  "So you've figured it out so quickly?" He sneered, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to prove your innocence? What about now? Compared to canceling out that debt, suffering a bit of humiliation isn't anything."

  Lin Yue furrowed her brow, not understanding why she had compromised to such an extent. What did he want? Did he have to see her cry and be reluctant to part with him before he would be satisfied?

  Sorry, he will be disappointed, such humiliation is enough once.

  She spoke in a calm tone, always serene. "What I want to prove is the fact, whether you believe it or not is up to each individual. If you don't believe me, then even if I were to tear my heart out, it would be of no use. Especially now...I think those things are no longer important."

  Suddenly, he turned around and stared at her, "What's so important?"

  As she met his gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and the familiar ache began to spread again. She lowered her eyes, avoiding his intense stare, "That's my business too."

  Gu's temper flared up again, but he forcibly restrained himself. He turned his head back around, no longer looking at her, "You're always in need of money, aren't you? I'm giving you an opportunity, don't waste it."

  Money, again money!

  In his eyes, she was just someone who lived for money!

  In fact, she is indeed so, which is the saddest part of her so far.

  Suppressing the intense fluctuations in her chest, she smiled softly with a hint of self-mockery, "Thanks for your kind intentions, I really don't need it. If the general manager has nothing else, I'll leave first."

  She had just turned around when Gu Wangchuan angrily called out to her, "Lin Yue'er!"

  She stopped in her tracks, this time turning her back on him.

  Gu Wangchuan glared at her, unable to express a kind of anger that was about to burn her whole person. As long as he came into contact with her, even the strongest self-control would collapse! Especially when she was calm and unruffled, without desires or demands, treating him indifferently as if she could leave at any time, and let go at any moment, it made him even more furious to the point of being uncontrollable!

  Even if I have to let go, he should be the first one to do so. When will she be able to take charge of this matter?!

  "Don't forget, get rid of this child as soon as possible!"

  He almost didn't think much and blurted out, trying to use the most vicious words to hurt her, seeing her in pain, seeing her react, he would be satisfied.

  As expected, Lin Yue'er's body trembled, and her hands, which were placed on her sides, also slowly clenched into fists.

  It wasn't until this moment that she finally made a decision after holding on for so long.

  "What I said, I will never take back! Even if you beg me to live, I won't agree." She pushed open the door and quickly left his line of sight.

  Instead of feeling relieved, Gu Xiang forgot the river and became even angrier.

  He slammed his fist on the table, staring at the resignation letter with beautiful handwriting but stiff words. He suddenly grabbed it and tore it to shreds, scattering the pieces in the air, watching as they fell like rain, his mood still terrible.

  Damn it, what's the point of even asking her if she wouldn't agree even if he begged her?!

  Is she so eager to get rid of it?!

  This idea made Gu Wangchuan extremely angry.

  Lin Yue'er quickly walked out of his office, stepped into the empty elevator, and only then allowed himself to pretend to be strong, slowly relaxing. At the same time, a cold patch on his cheek, he reached out to touch it, and found that it was all tears.

  She smiled self-deprecatingly, having promised herself not to cry for him again, but that man was indeed capable of hurting her deeply in an instant, and she avoided him as much as possible.
